3. Upgrades

3.1. Upgrading to a Newer Version of the Software Product

The version upgrade is free of charge for the same Software Product, feature set, and License configuration as long as you have an active Software Maintenance subscription. It contains all available patches for currently supported versions, as well as new Core Features described in the Axigen product release page on our website (https://www.axigen.com/press/release-notes/).

The version upgrade does not extend the validity of your Software Product License period, Technical Support, Software Maintenance, or any third party Add-on subscription on your Software Product License.

3.2. Upgrading to More Mailboxes, Servers, and Locations

The volume upgrade is performed upon order, by requesting the desired upper Premium Users Licensing pack.

For the Business Messaging Complete and Business Messaging Core Licensing Packs

The upgrade to a higher number of users is based on incremental 5 users packs, each 5-user increment having a fix price. For Business Messaging Core, the optional Add-ons will be also applied to the additional users added to the license.

For the Legacy Service Provider License Edition

The upgrade value is charged as the difference between the present list value of the old Software Product License and the Software Product License value. The result is the upper Software Product License pack (upgraded Software Product License) that includes the new limit on Software Product License parameters (e.g. Mailboxes, Locations, etc.), as ordered.

Any Axigen proprietary-technology Add-on (e.g. Personal Organizer, Groupware, Additional Servers, etc.) price is calculated at the legacy Axigen price-list value (which might be subject to changes, as communicated by the Axigen Sales Team) of the Software Product License for which it will be ordered, at the time the order is submitted.

Increasing the number of Basic Users on a Legacy Service Provider License pack is available through optional Add-ons, on request and upon extra costs.

Increasing the number of licensed Servers (gateway/ backup/ front-end/ back-end) on a specific Software Product License pack is available through optional Add-ons, on request and upon extra costs.

Licensing additional Locations for a specific Software Product License pack is available on request and upon extra costs under the form of another License for each Location.

The volume upgrade does not extend the validity of your Software Product License period, Technical Support, Software Maintenance or any third party Add-on subscription on your Software Product License.

Volume downgrades are also available free of charge only at the end of each Yearly License, on the Renewal date.

Licenses without active Software Maintenance are not subject to upgrades.

3.3. Upgrading to More Features

The feature upgrade is performed upon order, by requesting the desired Add-on pack with the current price list value (please see https://www.axigen.com/buy/); the upgrade fee is applicable on the existing license volume parameters (e.g. Mailboxes, Servers, etc.).

The feature upgrade is available only during a valid Software Maintenance subscription. It is also considered for subsequent subscription calculation.

The feature upgrade does not extend the validity of your Software Product License period, Technical Support, Software Maintenance, or any third party Add-on subscription on your License.

3.4. Upgrading from a Business Messaging License Edition to Another

If you are the owner of a Yearly or Perpetual Business Messaging License (which is no longer commercially available), on renewal you will have the possibility to choose one of the new Business Messaging License Editions: Complete or Core (Yearly license or Renewal of the existing Perpetual license).

4. Renewal

4.1. Yearly Licenses

Each Yearly License along with Add-ons related to the Software Product, Technical Support, and Software Maintenance will expire in 12 (twelve) months as of the Starting Date, namely on the shown expiry date at 00:00:00 (GMT) hour. For overcoming service downtime, we recommend renewing the Software Product License at least one week before the indicated expiry date.

To find out the price of renewing your Yearly License, which practically means a new acquisition, please visit the Axigen online store (https://www.axigen.com/buy/) and select your currently used Software Product License pack (number of Users). Proprietary technology Add-ons, as well as any third-party optional Add-ons acquired along with the Software Product License initially have also expressly been taken into consideration for the Renewal.

Software Maintenance and Technical Support services can only be ensured for the latest 2 (two) Software Product version releases; only the current major Software Product version and the one preceding it are supported.

4.2. Perpetual Licenses

For the Perpetual Business Messaging Complete and Core License Editions, if the Software subscription Renewal is not ordered before your current subscription’s expiration date, the missing months have to be purchased on renewal. The calculation uses a quarterly partial period proration. Software Maintenance fees are based on updated Perpetual License list prices, available only through the Axigen sales team and exclusively for legacy customers seeking renewal.

For the Service Provider License Edition, if the Software Maintenance and Technical Support subscription Renewal is not ordered before your current subscription's expiration, a new Software Product License has to be purchased so that you can once again have access to such services. A 3 (three) months grace period from your Software Maintenance expiry date is however granted for you to purchase the subscription Renewal. Ordering the subscription Renewal within the grace period will practically extend your current subscription with 12 months from its expiration date.

When calculating the price for Renewal, the Software Product List Price shall be considered, namely the sum between the Software Product License pack and the available proprietary technology Add-ons selected at the time of the initial acquisition. The available proprietary Add-ons are:

  • Personal Organizer Add-on (PO)
  • Groupware Add-On (GW)
  • Large Scale Solution Add-On (LSS)
  • Extra Basic Users Add-on
  • Mass Basic Users Add-on
  • Extra Servers Add-on

At Renewal, each Add-on adds an extra cost to the licensing pack price list, as follows:

  • Personal Organizer (PO: Included for Premium Users in all Product Editions)
  • Groupware Add-On (GW: 30%)
  • Large Scale Solution Add-On (LSS): 30%
  • Extra Basic Users Add-On: 40%
  • Mass Basic Users Add-On: 100%
  • 1 (one) Extra Server Add-On: 25%

NOTE: The figures used in the examples presented herewith are not to be considered with commercial value, as any renewal quote is calculated with list-price values at the time a renewal order is placed.

Example: A 3,000 Premium Mailboxes Axigen Service Provider Messaging (perpetual) License has a price list of 7,030 EUR. If acquired with GW, the Software Product is 7,030 EUR x 130% = 9,139 EUR

Software Maintenance and Technical Support services can only be ensured for the latest 2 (two) Software Product version releases; only the current major Software Product version and the one preceding it are supported (i.e. are eligible for receiving Technical Support and Software Maintenance). Therefore, to continue having access to Software Maintenance and Technical Support, you need to periodically update the Software Product you acquired through a Perpetual License.

4.2.1. Software Maintenance

4.2.1.1. Software Maintenance for Legacy Service Provider License

Software Maintenance includes Product Software Updates and Technical Support. Individually, Software Updates Subscription can only be purchased for the Service Provider License Edition in case the License holder has at least two Axigen Certified Engineers which have participated in the official Axigen Operation and Administration Training Course held by either Axigen or an Axigen Authorized Training Partner.

To find out the price of renewing your yearly Software Maintenance for the Legacy Service Provider License Edition, please contact the Axigen Sales Team.

Example: A 1,500 Premium Mailboxes Axigen Service Provider Messaging (perpetual) License has a price list of 5,228 EUR. If acquired with PO, the Software Product List Price is 5,228 EUR x 130% = 6,796.4 EUR. The Software Product yearly subscription renewal is 6,796.4 EUR x 15% = 2038.92 EUR.
